Senior Project Manager (Water Design-Build)
We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex water and wastewater design-build projects from initial planning through to completion. This role will oversee project strategy, design coordination, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover, ensuring that work is delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the required technical and quality standards. You will act as a senior point of contact for clients, consultants, contractors, suppliers, regulators, and internal teams, building strong relationships and maintaining clear communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities will include developing and managing project execution plans, programmes, budgets, risk registers, procurement strategies, and contract administration processes. You will lead multidisciplinary design and construction teams, coordinate interfaces between engineering and site delivery, and ensure that design solutions are practical, compliant, cost-effective, and aligned with operational requirements. You will monitor progress and performance, manage change control, resolve commercial and technical issues, and provide accurate reporting to senior stakeholders. A strong focus on health, safety, environmental performance, quality assurance, sustainability, and regulatory compliance will be essential.
Applicants should have significant experience managing major water, wastewater, utilities, or infrastructure projects, ideally within a design-build or engineer-procure-construct environment. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, construction management, project management, or a related discipline is preferred, together with recognised project or contract management training. You will need proven experience leading multidisciplinary teams, managing budgets and schedules, and administering forms of contract commonly used in the water and infrastructure sectors. Excellent communication, negotiation, commercial awareness, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills are essential. The ability to make sound decisions, influence others, and maintain delivery momentum in a complex project environment is also required.
